Inspiration for cooks

[CarterQ]

Where do you find your inspiration for cooking on your pellet cooker?

I know we all find ideas and inspiration around here from the weekly contests and other great cooks that are posted regularly, but where else do you draw inspiration from? TV shows, cookbooks, friends and family, a favorite restaurant, blogs, etc.?

What say you?

For me a few I love-
Cowgirls Country Life blog for amazing ideas and creativity (where else can you see a John Deere backhoe and gourmet food in the same post?)

Amazingribs.com, Meathead does wonderful job of sharing the secrets of cooking great Q and has a ton of ideas and recipes as well.

The Family Recipe book, I love taking the cherished family recipes and figuring out how to do them on the smoker, it is especially rewarding seeing the inlaws reaction to my sacriledge!

Thank you Carter and Cliff!! I come here for inspiration... the weekly contest entries and the gallery posts are amazing!!

I will never dig one period...

I go to the store...wander around and usually something clicks in this pea brain of mine....

i learn from the forum. there is a lot of smarter bbq ppl here than me. and i am good w/ that. i don't always want to be the teacher. sometimes it is good to be the student. a humble student learns more. that applies to a lot of things in life.
